Feb 4, 2025 · Demonstration · Rainbow Robotics · Humanoid

  • Erop announced successful cadaver-based preclinical trials for laparoscopic cholecystectomy using a second-generation cooperative surgical robot developed in collaboration with Rainbow Robotics.
  • The release said the updated robot reduced arm interference, added a wireless joystick, supported up to 3 kg load, and used six-axis torque sensors for precise control.
  • The companies said they planned to continue the collaboration by adding capabilities such as real-time surgical-instrument tracking and voice-command-based automatic arm adjustment.

Develops humanoid and industrial robotic systems, originating from the KAIST HUBO research program. The company focuses on bipedal locomotion, manipulation, and robotic platforms for research and industrial applications, with additional products including collaborative and mobile robots.
